Jira Issue Sync

Check Jira for assigned issues and sync with local task management.

Instructions

Step 1: Fetch Assigned Issues

Call jira_search with JQL:

assignee = currentUser() AND status != Done ORDER BY priority DESC

Step 2: Compare with Local Tasks

Check Tasks/ for existing files with Jira references:

• Look for jira_key in YAML frontmatter
• Identify new issues not yet in Tasks/

Step 3: Present Summary

Jira Issues (8 active):

**Blockers/Critical**
- PROJ-123: Production bug in auth [In Progress]

**High Priority**
- PROJ-124: API rate limiting [To Do]
- PROJ-125: Update deployment docs [In Review]

**Normal**
- PROJ-126: Refactor logging [Backlog]

3 issues not yet in local Tasks. Create them?

Step 4: Sync Options

Option	Description
Create all	Add all new issues as local tasks
Select specific	Choose which to sync
Skip	Continue without syncing

Step 5: Create Local Tasks

For each issue to sync, create task file:

---
title: [Issue summary]
category: technical
priority: [Map from Jira priority]
status: n
jira_key: PROJ-XXX
---

Priority Mapping

Jira	Personal OS
Blocker	P0
Critical	P0
High	P1
Medium	P2
Low	P3

Example Flow

User: "What should I work on today?"

Agent:

1. Fetches Jira issues
2. Compares with local tasks
3. "You have 5 Jira tickets..."
4. Offers to create local tasks
5. Continues with planning

Notes

• Keep jira_key in frontmatter for bidirectional sync
• Update Jira status when local task completes
• Include Jira link in task context section

When to Use

Use this skill when the task directly matches the workflow described above.

When Not to Use

Do not use this skill when the request is unrelated, low-stakes, or better handled by a simpler direct response.
